Not every night but 2-3 times per week I hear the 4094 beacon. Or should I say
I hear a couple of different formats. One is a slow dasher and the other is the letter Q sent repeatedly.
I have also received messages in CW that seem to be sent to no specific person. These messages
sometimes describe the beacon etc. . The speed is some where around 10 wpm but I can accurately say
a straight key is being used not a keyer with a paddle.
I'm going to try and have a cw qso with the operator some time. That might be pretty interesting.
73 and good dxing the dark side of radio.

I tried the home receiver and some SDRs. Only got a weak signal on the KFS omni. A few times I heard a very clear morse "Q" but my ears and the waterfall seemed to show some weaker cw code also on frequency

Q5 copy in Colorado I have been listening to Q and H..time was 2350 utc..
The NUT sdr had both Q and H solid.
Got a land line today telling me that the old 4094 beacon was being experimented with regarding QRP
as an ID and the operator has now decided a single letter would be best. So Q it is..
The beacon can switched into a dash mode.
That about all I know .

Windy seems to be having battery issues today. Right now it is sending "S" about 1 minute apart.
